Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha insists Antony will be stronger next season.
Saha sees a lot of room for improvement in the Brazilian.
He told DAZN Bet: "Antony is already a very good player, people forget the Premier League is the toughest to adapt to.
"People think physically, technically and because of the price tag, he could do better. But technically and physically he's very strong. He defends when we need it, he goes both ways.
"This is normal progress. You're going to get more confidence, he will understand opposition defences better.
"You connect all those things and I think he'll have a great season next campaign."
Saha added: "I think he's done well but he can show more, he can improve his diversity in the game.
"He can improve the way he surprises people, and work on his finishes in game. I think he's a great player."
